UNITY™ BASE is a pre-configured variation of the Unity Armor System. (If you want a full custom set-up, try our vest builder here.) Designed as a versatile blank slate, it’s built to adapt across a wide range of professional roles—from law enforcement and military to private security and emergency response. Maximized MOLLE surface area—top to bottom, side to side—for full loadout customization. UNITY BASE is made for modularity and loadout customization.
The UNITY™ HYBRID BASE configuration delivers full modularity without sacrificing a clean, professional look. Its six components fit together with precision to maintain a low-profile silhouette—ideal for blending into both tactical and professional environments. While the design is sleek and minimal, every element is fully modular and easily reconfigurable to meet the needs of your mission or role.
Stronger, lighter, and lower profile than traditional webbing and offers universal attachment compatibility.
Combine soft and hard armor for mission specific protection without sacrificing comfort, mobility, or setup.

Where is the custom builder for this Unity Carrier System?
You can access the custom builder here. Just keep in mind our preconfigurations will ship first, so custom orders may have a longer delivery timeframe.
Will my existing Safe Life Defense Panels work in this carrier?
Yes! Any and all Safe Life Defense panels (aside from backpack panels) are compatible with the Unity™ Hybrid Armor System.
Will the attachments / placards fall off? How do I customize?
Not a chance! Unity™ features a proprietary, patent-pending mounting system that locks placards in place with extreme security without sacrificing ease of use. Once installed, placards are held flush and tight, preventing any snagging, shifting, or accidental detachment. The entire system is engineered for a seamless, rock-solid fit you can count on in any scenario.
